Salman the Curious

Salman grew up in Persia and was so curious about the truth that he left home and travelled far, learning from wise men. One told him the last Prophet ﷺ would soon appear in Arabia, with three special signs; on the way, Salman was tricked and sold as a slave. In Madinah he found all three: the Prophet ﷺ would not eat charity, accepted a gift, and had the Seal of Prophethood on his back, so Salman joyfully accepted him and became one of his beloved companions.
